Criterium du Dauphine-Stage 6

[sublimit]

If anything he has been even more sluggish uphill than usual.

He's up and down as usual. I still think he can do damage at the tour.

I know a lot of people don't care for Phil Ligget's announcing, but the man does inject excitement into the broadcast.

We could use him today.

Yes, his passion for the sport is what I used to like about him. I could even forgive his brutal misinterpretation of what was going on and misidentification of riders. It's only the last few years that he's been a real shame to listen to, since his paychecks started coming from this side of the atlantic.

I think phil is quite entertaining and funny, he just can't be taken seriously.

I spent a couple of hours with him at a bar in philly and he was a smashing guy.

He just needs to get off of lance's jock and get a better side kick than paul sherwin

That guy has an incredible engine. How he can do this after all the work he did at the Giro is amazing.

EDIT: I see Navarro is on the front. Nice recovery from yesterday's effort. And it looks like Tiralongo is struggling. Mightly.

Well I hope Thomas can hang on when the pace lifts. Good riding from him so far.

He is gone already
Was one of the earlier ones to let go

 

[python]

navarro is a monster !

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Van Garderen still there, that's pretty awesome

Oh... missed that. Hardly surprising but unfortunate.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Menchov gone

 

[Publicus]

Thanks for coming Samu. You can pick your parting gift up from the autobus coordinator.

EDIT: Good work from Navarro.

EDIT: Jeebus Horner and Menchov is gone. AC can win this without doing much more than what he is doing.

 

[auscyclefan94]

conti won't to have to make much of an effort to win today as Bjarko does not look great imo.

 

[python]

menchov is gone !

 

[zapata]

was that navarro on the front now, and then peeled off? very glad to see him win yesterday, and today it's back to work..

 

[auscyclefan94]

Menchov gone

what is up with him? i guess he will find form like he usually does.

 

[Magnus]

It would have been nice to see Sicard for this.

 

[auscyclefan94]

go remy, that was the part armstrong atacked in o02?

 

[Publicus]

Astana is absolutely drilling this climb.

EDIT: I figured Tiralongo didn't have much. He didn't look good at the bottom of the climb. Who is the guy riding with AC now? Don't recognize him.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Astana >>>>> RS

 

[pedaling squares]

Pujol = dead man riding.
